Bacteria are the most common example of exponential growth. Select a number between 2 and 10 to represent the hourly growth rate

of a certain bacteria. For example, selecting the number 8 would mean that the amount of bacteria will be 8 times greater after every hour.
a. Suppose you start with one single bacterium. Make a table of values showing the number of bacteria that will be present after each hour for the first six hours using the hourly growth rate that you selected. Then determine how many bacteria will be present once 24 hours have passed.
b. Explain why this table represents exponential growth.
c. Using this example, explain why any nonzero number raised to a power of zero is equal to one.
d. Write a rule for this table.
e. Suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same growth factor. How would your rule change? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hour 0                 1 bacterium

Hour 1                  3 bacterium

Hour 2                 9 bacterium

Hour 3               27 bacterium

Hour 4                81 bacterium

Hour 5            243 bacterium

Hour 6            729 bacterium

After 24 hours, the number of the bacterium will reach 282,429,536,481.

B)  This table represents exponential growth because of the number of bacterium always being multiplied by 3.

C)  The reason that any number to the zero power is one is that any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, 1.

D)  Y = 1 + 3 to the power of x

E)  The rule would change by having all of the numbers multiplied by 100 since there is 100 bacterium at Hour 0.

I NEED HELP!!! You deposit $1,500 in an account earning 2.75% simple interest. How long will it take for the balance of the acco
Y_Kistochka [10]
12 years if interest is paid yearly
12 months if interest is paid monthly
Step-by-step explanation:
2.75% of $1500 is $41.25 interest per period
$1995-$1500 = $495 total interest
$495 ÷ $41.25 = 12 periods
Therefore it takes 12 interest periods to reach $1995, so the answer is 12 months or 12 years depending on how often interest is paid.

Tim tiene 39 pares de audífonos y 13 reproductores de música. Tim quiere vender todos los audífonos y los reproductores de músic
Lena [83]

Answer: 13 packages.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

Tim has 39 pairs of headphones and 13 music players. Tim wants to sell all the headphones and music players in identical packages. What is the largest number of packages that Tim can do?

To solve this we must find the largest common factor between 39 and 13.

to do this, we divide the smaller number by different integers, and see if the result also divides the larger number into an integer.

13/1 =13 and 39/13 = 3

So 13 is the largest common factor.

This means that we can make 13 packages, each with:

39/13= 3 headphones

13/13 = 1 music players

1.\ x^2-169=0\\\\x^2-13^2=0\\\\(x-13)(x+13)=0\iff x=13\ \vee\ x=-13

2.\ x^2+14x+49=0\\\\x^2+2x\cdot7+7^2=0\\\\(x+7)^2=0\\\\(x+7)(x+7)=0\iff x=-7

3.\ x^2-17x+42=0\\\\x^2-14x-3x+42=0\\\\x(x-14)-3(x-14)=0\\\\(x-14)(x-3)=0\iff x=14\ \vee\ x=3
